I personally know several people who pour acetone into benz to remove moisture from gasoline, and they say it cleans the engine, detonation disappears by 90%, starting in frost becomes easier.
In the example of P11 with SR20DEH, they also tried to pour, the engine seemed to be not very quiet, but it began to run even quieter, the traction from the bottom increased, the consumption fell slightly.As for the rubber bands in the fuel, like acetone dries the rings on fuel injectors, all bullshit, many passed the tests, put the rings in acetone and kept them there.
At the expense of elastic bands and gaskets, etc. there was a dispute, for half a year they have been in acetone in 3 liters. bank and NOTHING, only their original appearance has been preserved even more)
All this went to speak from our foreign colleagues, from the USA
So, I quote
"... Initially, all Gasoline is 76th. To get 92nd and 95th according to the factory technology, it is necessary to add oxygen-containing components: methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) or its mixture with tert-butanol, called fetherol. due to the fact that these additives are quite expensive in fact, and under the silence of the regulatory authorities add an additive tri-alpha-methyl-tetracyclic toluene or a slightly different, but also based on toluene. The more of this additive, the higher octane number, We added a bucket per ton - from the 76th we got the 92nd. But to get the 95th, you need to add not a couple of liters to this bucket as calculated from the proportion, but also a bucket! (all this is rough, of course, in order for you to understand the mechanism). And what would be the 98th, another bucket and a half! that is, as you can see from this, there is a simple geometric progression. And to get European premium gasoline 99-102, five seven buckets per ton are obtained! at factories 98, it is not produced due to the lack of expediency of pouring such a quantity of additives, but it is easily produced at oil depots by pouring the required amount of toluene additives into the 76th gasoline. And it does not matter what from this for the latest engines European and japanese cars great harm, people demand the 98th, please you! Eat, do not crap! Checking by the research method will show an octane number of 98, which means that the legislation is not violated, there is no lead in it - it means that the ecology is not violated, and the car seems to be driving better, because the brain of the machine, seeing the absence of detonation, increases the ignition timing and the machine becomes faster and less consumption, and if so then you can sell it! But the fact that toluene, when burned from engines of new cars designed for 98th gasoline, turns into carbon monoxide with sintering into crystals, which look like pointed multi-pointed snowflakes, and in hardness approach a diamond like on sandpaper good quality... And what do you think will happen if you pour the powder from the sandpaper into the cylinders and ride? We understood that. By the way, the soot is light in color (it happens black if the engine is already worn out and eats oil) and is a consequence of a large amount of toluene, because the gasoline itself gives a minimal soot. But this no longer bothers the manufacturers of the homebrew 98th, because they know that it is best to pour the 92nd, it has at least less toluene additive and, accordingly, less damage to the engine.
But what to pour gasoline into the 92-0 to increase the octane number and so that this carbon deposit does not form and even clean itself, I also know, but I will not tell, or even so there are too many secrets for you)) And so we have: We have 92 supersaturated with toluene-containing additive. We know that gasoline is a saturated hydrocarbon, org. Comm., carbon atoms to-rykh are connected to each other by simple (ordinary) bonds. formula: C6H6. Since these connections are simple, they are also very unstable, because as you can see from the formula, there is no tetracyclic link. It is clear that in order to increase the resistance to unstable detonation, we need to introduce such a link. but where to get it? You can add toluene, it is there, but due to its specificity, it has a lot that is superfluous in its formula, which means that it does not suit us, but it suits chemists from oil depots, because pretty cheap. We look further among the available funds and consider their formulas ... And lo and behold! there is such a substance! And everywhere, in any household store! It's ACETONE! But why exactly he? Let's consider its chemical formula ... CH3-CO-CH3. As you can see, there are two tetracyclic methyl units in it, which will not allow gasoline to detonate before it is ignited by a spark. But what about carbon deposits? The evaporation rate of acetone is 20 times higher than that of gasoline, hence it becomes clear that when it enters the combustion chamber, it evaporates before gasoline and, getting into carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, it gradually dissolves it. At the same time, its combustion rate is higher than that of gasoline, and the temperature is lower, which makes it possible to reduce the combustion temperature and negate the formation of abrasive particles from toluene and oil. All this is not a secret in fact, all this knowledge is elementary and is at the level of the 7th grade of secondary school, you undoubtedly studied this, but you just did not finish your studies)))
The proportions are as follows: I pour 100 grams of acetone on 10 liters of gasoline. it doesn't make sense to pour more. start by side properties in the form of a further decrease in temperature and an increase in consumption. But this is only for injection engines! You cannot pour acetone into carburetor ones! since it is detrimental to carburetors. After a while, all carbon deposits in the combustion chamber will disappear, and it will look like it had just been from the factory. You need to pour just right before refueling, so that acetone mixes well with gasoline ... "First, a little theory.
Acetone - (dimethylketone, systematic name: propanone) is the simplest representative of ketones. Formula: CH3-C (O) -CH3. Colorless volatile liquid with a characteristic odor. At 20 ° C the solubility of O2 gas: 3.1 ml per 100 ml of water, 22 ml per 100 ml of ethanol, 23.1 ml per 100 ml of acetone. Fully miscible with water and most organic solvents. Acetone dissolves well many organic substances (cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose, wax, rubber, etc.), as well as a number of salts (calcium chloride, potassium iodide).
I highlighted in bold what I would like to focus on.
1. This is the concentration of oxygen in acetone. It is the highest of the inexpensive additives (in the same sodium oxide NO2 it is ten times more).
Increasing the content of oxygen molecules in gasoline is good. The mixture will be better mixed before setting fire, due to the strong volatility of acetone and will burn completely due to the rate of combustion of oxygen.
We will get a more economical car and a little more torque due to the strong expansion of acetone when heated in the combustion chamber.
By the way, acetone is already added to high-octane gasoline, but for the sake of economy - a little.
When normal work of all sensors (exhaust temperature, lambda probe) the brains of the car perfectly adjust the mixture for the "new" fuel.
Especially acetone is relevant in summer time... In winter, rumors that the car starts better with it are ambiguous. from chemistry lessons, we could remember that at -20, acetone freezes.
The self-ignition temperature of acetone is +465 ° C
Compared to petrol 257 ° C (no additives).
Considering this fact, we see an improved detonation resistance of acetone - there is less risk that it will light up before the candle sparks, for example, simply from the heat in the cylinder.2. Acetone is completely mixed with water, removing all condensate from the car system, burning it in the combustion chamber and throwing it out into the street through a pipe)))
I all know that moisture inside a gas tank is harmful to the pump and everything else. Acetone mixing with water allows water to pass further to the engine. Without acetone, water accumulates in the lowlands. gasoline is lighter than water and it sinks down. Well, pour a little benzene into a glass of water - you will understand.3. Acetone dissolves all kinds of threshing floors. This threshing floor soothes on candles and nozzles. Compared with the use of special. cleaning agents, acetone cleans the engine elements more gently and you can drive it every day, and not put the car for cleaning. It is always present in the system, preventing the formation of a new threshing floor.
4. Acetone mixes well with gasoline itself due to its similar density (Gasoline density \u003d 0.75 g / cm³, acetone density \u003d 0.78 g / cm³).
5. Safety for the engine.
The combustion temperature of acetone is 10 times lower than that of gasoline, which has a beneficial effect on the operation of the engine itself at high loads.Pros of acetone in benzene:
Less risk of detonation (octane increase)
Removing the threshing floor on candles and nozzles
Removing water from the system
Reduced consumption
Smoother idling
Lower traction increasesMinuses
You look like an asshole at a gas station.
You quickly get hooked on this crap and it seems that the car won't go without acetone.
In addition to refueling, you spend time going to a household goods store.
In a store, if you buy in the same, the sellers start looking for signs of a drug dealer in you.Next I will talk about the Application.
Dosage.
I pour on full tank 300-350 ml.
With a single filling of 15 liters, I first splash 70-100 ml of acetone. Then pour the benz to mix better.
Then I go like an asshole from side to side so that everything mixes up in the bug better))) HZ why, but I want it so much)) I drive a little 200 meters into the swingPurchase.
We buy pure technical acetone without additives and additives. Stupidly acetone.
It costs 70 rubles a bottle of 500 ml.He seems to have told everything.
Vietnamese authorities have banned the use of acetone as an additive to motor gasoline. The corresponding decree was signed by the State Office for Standards and Quality on September 7.
From today, the law officially comes into force. The ban applies both to gasoline intended for domestic marketand for gasoline intended for export.
Until recently, acetone additives to gasoline were the norm in Vietnam and were widely used to increase the octane number of automotive fuels. However, the Vietnamese government decided to ban the use of acetone for these purposes due to its extremely harmful effects on human health and the environment.
Links to bortovik who poured acetone:
1. Subaru
The use of acetone as a fuel additive is quite common among car owners. Its results have been studied by specialists for a number of years. Observations allow us to assert an increase in engine power, increased stability idle move, making it easier to run in winter time and other changes.
1. Why?
The main purpose of adding acetone is to increase the octane number of the fuel. Acetone has a fairly high octane number (according to some sources, its approximate value is 150). Therefore, its use as an additive leads to an increase in the octane number of the fuel. This helps to increase its resistance to detonation at the moment of compression, preventing premature ignition before sparking and increasing fuel performance.
2. How much
Acetone is added to gasoline in an amount of 8 to 27 ml. 10 liters. When using diesel fuel - from 4 to 16 ml. 10 liters. Since the reaction to additives is different engines differs, choosing the most optimal concentration for your car should be done empirically. It is best to add acetone before refueling by measuring the amount with a measuring glass.
3. Acetone and engine performance
As it was determined empirically, the performance of the engine when using acetone increases on average by 2-10%, the maximum result was 25%. The increase in the distance traveled is different for different cars and is directly related to the ratio of the amount of acetone and fuel. The addition of acetone does not lead to disturbances in electronic systems, controlling the processes of fuel supply and ignition.
4. Acetone and octane number
The addition of chemically pure acetone allows you to increase the octane number of the fuel and get 95 or 98 from 92 gasoline. At the moment, its use has been tested on many types of cars and trucks with positive results. But it is too early to assert that this method is 100% effective for all cars, since the study has not yet been completed.
5. Acetone and water
If water is present in the fuel (even in small quantities), it forms an emulsion with acetone. This poses a danger to injection engines, mainly diesel, fuel pump and injector nozzles which may be adversely affected by corrosion. Although so far such consequences have not been recorded.
The water that emulsifies with acetone and enters with the fuel into the system injecting the mixture into the cylinder is more dangerous for diesel engines... This is due to the creation of significant pressure in them with obtaining high temperature values. Therefore, when using fuel for this type of engine, the concentration of acetone should be lower.
6. Acetone and fuel system
Over the years, observations have not provided any confirmation of the dangers of acetone for fuel system car and engine. But it should be borne in mind that being a powerful solvent, this substance contributes to the slow decomposition of the rubber parts of the fuel line. After a certain time, such an action of acetone will require its repair.
7. Acetone and engine components
Although in practice, a decrease in the efficiency of engine oil when using acetone was not revealed, theoretical calculations indicate a decrease in the quality of oil lubrication of engine parts and components. Engine components do not lose their properties from contact with acetone, this is proved by the practice of soaking them in it.
Rumor has it that you can add acetone to gasoline. Is it so?
“I have repeatedly heard the opinion that the power supply system and combustion chambers gasoline engines it is necessary to periodically clean it from deposits and carbon deposits formed during operation. Allegedly, this not only improves the environmental performance of the engine, but also reduces fuel consumption to the rated values. Someone goes to the service station for this, someone uses additives in gasoline from renowned manufacturers. Recently, I was advised a completely budgetary and popular method - pour technical acetone into the tank at the rate of 0.5 liters per 50-60 liters of gasoline. Like, the same effect as from additives, but cheaper. Tell me, does it make sense? And wouldn't it be harmful for a modern injection engine? "
Does it make sense to add acetone to gasoline is, of course, an interesting question. On the one hand, many of our technical consultants involved in the operation, maintenance and repair of cars are against the use of any additives in fuel in general, except in some cases when it comes to the recommendations of the car manufacturers or preparations provided by the same manufacturers. Acetone does not belong to such drugs.
As for carbon deposits, in a properly adjusted engine with serviceable ignition, power and cooling systems, how much it has formed, the same amount burns out. If there are problems with the operation of these systems, this equilibrium is disturbed. True, high temperatures are required to burn out carbon deposits, therefore, in addition to engine malfunctions, certain operating conditions may also be involved in increased carbon formation. In particular, with the predominant use of the car in the city on short trips, the engine may not have time to warm up well. This is especially true for winter. On short trips, soot will not have enough temperature and time to burn out, as a result of which it can accumulate.
If the malfunctions are eliminated in a timely manner, and in addition to city trips, you also arrange country runs for the car, soot should not annoy. The position of operating specialists is based on this - first fix the car, then you will not need to use any additives.
In addition, it is doubtful that the design of the cars was considered that they would ever need to drive gasoline with acetone additives. This means that non-metallic materials that come into contact with gasoline are necessarily checked for gas resistance. Acetone is a strong solvent, and how it can affect not only deposits in the power supply system, but also seals or non-metallic fuel lines, one can only guess.
Again, it is not known how this strong solvent will act on engine oil, because their contact is also inevitable, especially at the moments of starting a cold engine, when there are difficulties with the evaporation of the fuel supplied to the cylinders. Considering that the evaporated fuel can condense when it comes into contact with the cold cylinder walls, this is likely to worsen the lubrication conditions in the upper operating zone. piston rings, which should affect durability.
The environmental situation is also unclear, because, depending on the engine mode, its exhaust gases always contain one or another amount of incomplete combustion products. In the case of gasoline and diesel fuel, these are unsaturated hydrocarbons, but what happens as a result of incomplete combustion of acetone?
On the other hand, there are the opinions of car owners who, in private, experimented with acetone, achieving, according to them, positive results. We also listen to these opinions, as at one time we listened to stories about another folk method against carbon deposits - adding naphthalene to gasoline. Now about naphthalene is almost forgotten, and at one time it was popular as a remedy not only against moths in the wardrobe, but also against carbon deposits.
However, it should be noted that not all opinions are optimistic. Here are some testimonies about the negative experience of using acetone, gleaned from various Internet sources.
Mr19Rus: “I poured 0.5 liters onto the tank. After 100 km, the car simply stopped driving. Somehow on the "second" with twitching dragged to the garage. Judging by the symptoms, there was a lack of fuel in the rail. I opened the ramp, fished out the nozzles and was horrified. All nozzles were clogged with flakes. Apparently the acetone cleared the tank. The entire fuel line and all this turbidity remained in the injectors. "
Burnik: “There was a Nissan Bluebird. I drove acetone. For 10,000 km the rings are gone. "
Therefore, if we can unambiguously recommend something, then only diagnostics and elimination of malfunctions in the engine as soon as they are detected. As for the addition of acetone, it is akin to treating a chronic patient not even with drugs specially designed for this, but with the help of some kind of drugs, the healing properties of which are in the sphere of folk gatherings on a bench.
